Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Reviews

I read an article by Carmindy, the makeup artist, and she included this product in her best multi tasking lipsticks. So, I marched over to Sephora to try it out. It is not too glossy, has a subtle shine, and actually lasted after eating. She said it was her favorite, so I bought it. THE BEST Lip stick I own. It is really versatile, and the fact that actually lasts makes it all the better. The...read morere are many colors to choose from. It is pricey, but it really goes a long way.

I was excited to get a sample size in Cruella which is a very pigmented rich modern looking matte deep crimson red. It is my first Nars product ever! I like the size. It is in between a lip pencil and chubby stick/lip crayon so you get the precision of a liner with a reasonable lipstick coverage to fill in the entire lip. It is a bit drying like most matte lip products, but not horrible. It l...read moreasts reasonably well without bleeding unless you eat or drink something, I'm which case you definitely want to reapply immediately, especially with the bolder colors. It is expensive. It has to be sharpened--I much prefer the retractables. I loved the color, finish, and applicator size.— 2 months, 2 weeks ago

I'm a nude lip girl...nude or balm. One day I decided that I wanted a red...and on brown skin that can be really hard to do. I had been looking for a red for about 10 years....just because I wanted the Marilyn glamour...and finally I found a red: Dragon Girl. No gloss is needed...it's matte and velvety and stays on forever. (the Nars chubby glossy stick is also amazing). Absolutely love this item ...read moreand recommend to all. The colors are heavily pigmented and last that way..even through meals, kissing, etc. Love!— 2 years, 4 months ago

This is a great lip pencil. The name fits it to a T. When I wear it alone, my lips look very velvety soft and seductive. For a more modern look less seductive I apply with Nars Lip Gloss, but would be happy just to wear this alone every day. The sharpening of the pencil is a pain, but, small price to pay for such a good product.

I really liked this pencil. It is one of the few lipsticks that I actually use on a regular basis. It is convenient because you don't need a separate liner or need to use a lip brush. The color wears fairly well and fades off evenly. It is richly pigmented and moisturizing so that is a comfortable matte finish.

This is my absolute favorite lip product. It has a lovely matte finish and it stays on for quite a long time without feathering. My favorite shade is Bettina, a light pinkish nude. I wear it almost daily. I also have Sex Machine, a rosy pink; Never Say Never, a plummy shade and Dolce Vita, a light neutral red. I keep each one of these lip pencils in my purse at all times, although I wear Bett...read moreina the most frequently. I absolutely love these pencils. I don't even mind sharpening them (well, not much, lol!). The formula, albeit matte, is never drying. I don't even need lip balm underneath. They are my perfect lip accessories. I have purchased them many times over and highly recommend them.— 1 month, 4 weeks ago
